There is no such thing as justice. Something such as justice must come from something that is truly just (hence the name). I do not believe in anything being just or unjust... here's why.

To have a good thing, like justice, there must be a supreme good that caused it. The only supreme good is a God(s). Being an agnostic, I don't believe in God and therefore do not believe in a truly good thing. Every 'good'ish thing will always in terms of my theology and worldview have a bad part. Ex. love - love always forms a small part of jealousy or envy which are 'bad'.

So do I think that there is no such thing as a just law? Yes. I do not think there is a truly just law. Slight anarchist? maybe...

However, observing 'natural law', I can at least find some things that are very close to being just or how they were meant and designed to be (whether they were designed by evolution or a creator). Observing this gets us very close to what true justice is, but we will never reach such a stage of pure good and justness.

you could make the term "absolute justice" and could use it as perfect equality what means:
"if you cut someone's finger, the same finger will be cutted"
Sounds simpel and a bit stupid, but would not that be ultimate justice?

I think what's just, or rather what's right and wrong, is determined by ethics. Regarding ethics, I think I am mostly a Kantian with a few pragmatist streaks. Kant's "golden rule", the categorical imperative ("Always act in a manner that the rationale for your actions could reasonably be wanted to become general law", or more down to earth, "treat others as you wish they treat you") is a good guideline. In every day life, I listen to my conscience and my reason to know what's right and wrong, and I think they are a good team.
